He wanted to be the same high-level scorer he was in 2020-21, but play on a successful team and do so with the roar of 20,000-plus fans cheering him on at Rupp Arena.
To open the season, though, the scoring aspect of that equation hasn’t consistently been there. He scored in double figures twice in two of Kentucky’s first four games (13 vs. Robert Morris, 12 vs. Ohio), but a total of five points in the other two.
